@WandererUber You didn't ask that, though.

I don't know how it fits together, and at this point I don't see a whole lot of value in guessing until we have more evidence.

I think they were trying to negotiate with him and he was unwilling or unable to do what they wanted.

I think controlling the cartels was a part of it.
I think aiding China was part of it.
I also think revenge for them nationalizing stuff that American companies had spent money on was a part of it.

I don't think that's the whole picture, though.

One thing I am still looking for a few pieces for is the voting machine stuff.
